Function
ADH1_ENTHI Alcohol dehydrogenase with a preference for medium chain secondary alcohols, such as 2-butanol and isopropanol. Has very low activity with primary alcohols, such as ethanol. Under physiological conditions, the enzyme reduces aldehydes and 2-ketones to produce secondary alcohols. Is also active with acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Analysis of the three-dimensional structures of two closely related thermophilic and hyperthermophilic alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) from the respective microorganisms Entamoeba histolytica (EhADH1) and Thermoanaerobacter brockii (TbADH) suggested that a unique, strategically located proline residue (Pro275) at the center of the dimerization interface might be crucial for maintaining the thermal stability of TbADH. To assess the contribution of Pro275 to the thermal stability of the ADHs, we applied site-directed mutagenesis to replace Asp275 of EhADH1 with Pro (D275P-EhADH1) and conversely Pro275 of TbADH with Asp (P275D-TbADH). The results indicate that replacing Asp275 with Pro significantly enhances the thermal stability of EhADH1 (DeltaT(1/2) </= +10 degrees C), whereas the reverse mutation in the thermophilic TbADH (P275D-TbADH) reduces the thermostability of the enzyme (DeltaT(1/2) </= -18.8 degrees C). Analysis of the crystal structures of the thermostabilized mutant D275P-EhADH1 and the thermocompromised mutant P275D-TbADH suggest that a proline residue at position 275 thermostabilized the enzymes by reducing flexibility and by reinforcing hydrophobic interactions at the dimer-dimer interface of the tetrameric ADHs.
